Three and 1/2 Stars. I prefer waitressing. This is an 'Order at the counter' type restaurant . No waitress service. Small interior with about a dozen booths. Friendly. Locals. Food was good. The Livermush was a first for me. Playing card size about 1/2" thick, it had a slight crust on it and really had a good flavor. I ate it plain but may have been even better with some mustard on it! If I'm in the area again I would come back

Onion Rings are fantastic and it's the best Gyro in the county. They have Livermush all day long. Great place to get a meal.
